K&n

Does anyone have any pics of the crome double cone K&N air filter and how much power can I expect? Some one has one for sale for 100.00. Is it worth it.

I don't think K&N makes a twin air filter system for the c5. Are you sure it's a K&N or is it one of them you buy off ebay?

I have one on my car and love it, well worth the $100 investment. I will try and get you a pick ASAP. The only other thing I would do, and I have seen pics of it on here, is drill holes in plastic area next to the fox lamps, which will allow even more cooler air to get to the air filter, hence, more horsepower! I would go for the purchase, but thats just me hopefully a few more people will offer their opinion too.

I bought the one off of ebay for $49.00, used the cheapo filters it came with for a while and then replaced them with the Amsoil EaA air filters.

They are guaranteed for 100,000 miles or four years, whichever comes first and they go 25,000 miles before requiring cleaning.

So far so good.

Some manufacturers of these Ram Air Intakes claim up to 15 HP gains...I dont think its that much...to me, I like the look, they have to be less restrictive, and are much easier to maintain over the stock setup...

I can probably save you some $$ on the EA filters, particularly via the AMSOIL Preferred Customer Program.

If anyone is interested, drop me a PM with the EA part number (or K&N filter part that I can cross reference), and I'll let you know exact Preferred Customer Program and Retail pricing info.

To compare ,I just read dyno results on a 99' FRC where 16hp gain was acheived with headers and an aftermarket catback system.

Performance Air filters

I recently discussed the ram air filters with a gentleman from Callaway Corvettes. He told me that they tested all the after market air filtiers before they developed the Honker. He said that the Blackwing dyno'd at 12 HP and their Honker dyno'd at 17.8 hp gain.
